What did you do to Rosie that's digital? I'm not a fan of digital art so don't make me be mad at you because I already know you know how to draw great. She's adorable and I'll try not to hold the digital against you.

Rosie is a combination of pencil sketch... scanned in... then fur was highlighted in photoshop and the tint changed

I actually make most of my freelance income from digital work since that is what the customers normally want and need. If there is overlap, it is because I am making an effort to keep my hand in traditional to keep my skills up.

I just did 3 digital paintings on commission yesterday. You wont see many here because they are done for another person.

I'm not surprised to read that you make most of your income off of digital. It's kind of sad actually (not that you do but that customers want it so much). It's almost like someone doesn't need to be an "artist" but rather have a skill at working on computers. Nowadays, at least here in US, you can't trust a photo on a magazine because it's been digitally altered.

Arts are really getting hit big time it seems like. I'm not "mad" at you for making your living doing digital, it's just that I love to see what people can do with their imaginations and/or talent. It's amazing! I'm not a great artist, but I do thank God for giving me the skill to imitate a photo and put it down on paper using a pencil. That's how I see my art.

Okay, sorry, I rambled on enough. I love your artwork. Please always remind us when you use digital like you did here or we may think you're better than you actually are.

And thank you for always describing things to me so kindly.

Traditional works are not going anywhere.

I went to art school back when all we had were traditional means to create work.

These are things that need to be talked about with the art community. Ultimately, digital is just another tool. You'd be relieved to know that traditional art has surged despite digital art avalanche.

In the photography world, many film photographers are having to make the switch to digital because traditional films and processing places are vanishing.
